Like the idea of musical "diary" but generally needs to expand the list of available inputs e.g. bookmarks, notes, messages to be useful.

I don't feel old, but when I see photos of the town where I was born, and they were taken during my lifetime, I suddenly feel the years. These photos look they were taken decades before.

Sad news.

Was surprised he hadn't already died.

Wonder if he ever had a night out with Mark E Smith? That would have been one hell of a hangover.

This is why everything is broken. Because we aren’t being governed. The country’s wellbeing is a baton being passed around and dropped by a series of incompetent, dangerous and corrupt Tory ministers.
Nothing good comes from this festival of uselessness. Nothing.

A long lens shot of the Dreamland facade with the yellow lettering running vertically down the brickwork. Compressed behind is the grey concrete Arlington Tower block. Lots of windows to peer into.

I visited Margate again last weekend but didn't attempt to recreate my favourite composition from a couple of years back. Some of you may have seen it before but I thought I'd share here too 🙂
